Short courses are also offered throughout the year for those who:
• require training in certain specific areas
• are willing to study but cannot do so full-time
• wish to apply for membership to various organizations (e.g. FIE) and need to
• upgrade their qualifications for national and international needs.
In general, all of the programmes offered by CEST have been designed and developed to suit Fiji’s industry
needs. As such, there are multiple pathways of learning, with multiple entries and exits to and from programmes.
Moreover, great value and emphasis have been placed upon industrial attachments, which are an integral part of
most of our programmes of study.
Another integral component of CEST in the university structure is TVET, which stands for Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Under this programme, students could enter the University at any level of study
ranging from a Certificate to a Degree. Students could undertake basic technical programmes (like a Certificate
(III-IV) (formerly Trade Certificate) and enter the job market whilst striving for Diploma, Advanced Diploma and
Degree programmes at the same time. Alternatively, a student could enroll directly into the University’s Degree
programmes as per the college admission regulation.
